About

Lisanne Van Nierop-The Founder

I started learning Spanish in school at the age of 15 and immediately fell in love with it, choosing to continue studying it at GCSE, A-Level and even picking a degree in Spanish too. During my degree I was lucky enough to live in the south of Spain for a year. My direct experience with the language, the people, the food and the culture only made my passion grow and just learning languages myself wasn’t enough anymore, I wanted to inspire others. Following my degree I decided to get in to teaching and qualified as an EFL teacher and then a Spanish teacher a couple of years later. Ever since, my aim has been to help others find their passion for Spanish.

LV Languages- The Business

With my background it’s not difficult to understand why my business revolves around languages but what you might be wondering is why I decided to start a business at all. Well, I know firsthand that learning a language takes time and commitment so I wanted to make the process easier and more accessible to those who want to fit in learning a language around their busy lifestyle. I was also aware that many people are scared to learn a new language and therefore wanted to provide a relaxed atmosphere where students could feel completely comfortable whilst also having a lot of fun.

Lisanne is a great tutor. She is very organised and uses a number of teaching styles to keep the pace moving. Her style is welcoming and supportive and she maintained a sense of humour despite the fact that as 'mature' students we were not always 'on task'!
I have particular appreciation for her willingness to flex what was covered to accommodate Spanish that we thought would be most useful to us (ie a detailed menu / requesting different types of cooking).
She has also agreed to give our family an Ad Hoc Refresher lesson in a couple of months' time so that we can hopefully utilise as much of what we have learned when we visit Menorca later this year.
Thank you very much Lisanne. It has been a pleasure xread more

I’m certainly not someone who has a natural ability with languages so this Holiday Spanish course was spot on for me. This was fun, really interactive and Lisanne tailored the content to suit our needs (we did the course as a family). The variety of learning techniques used kept the momentum going and the 90 minutes flew by each week. Muchas graciasread more

Lisanne's style of teaching Spanish, topics covered, pace and the perfect mix of listen/learn/participate worked amazingly well! Plus the 'icing on the cake' was a great small group of us students and the awesome location .. a pub/restaurant that brews it's own beer .. what more could you want ;-)read more
